Saw it, Pinned it, Did it {Week 4}

 

Today I'm linking up with Stephanie & Katie for

For this weeks project, I wanted to do something Christmas.  I haven't been able to find a Christmas tree skirt that would match my decorations so I thought I could just make one.  I had seen these ruffle skirts and wanted to do something like it.  I went to Hobby Lobby and the rolls of deco mesh ribbon were 50% off and I just couldn't pass that stuff up!

So I ended up doing a little something different....

I started with a $5 red tree skirt from Target

I bought 3 different colors of the 21inch deco mesh rolls

I started with the green and would bunch some and safety pin it to the skirt and I did this all the way around with the green.

Then I did the pink roll the same way.

And then I finished with the red.

I think it looks way better in person than in the pictures and I can't wait to see it around my tree!!!

 

Thanks for the link-up girls!!!

This has been my favorite project yet!!!

Saw it. Pinned it. Did it. {Week 2}

Today, I'm linking up with Steph & Katie

So I wanted to make this, but in my own way.

 

Unfortunately, there is not a link to it, just a picture on Pinterest. 

So I started with a 16x20 canvas

(I bought a pack of 2 for $7.99 at HobLob)

Then I painted it grey, it took several coats.

(you know how much I love grey!!)

I bought a book of scrapbook paper that was different patterns but coordinated.  I then cut out several different sizes of "petals" and ended up cutting more after I laid them out on the canvas.

I glued each one to the canvas in the spot I wanted and let that dry.

I then put on 3 coats of ModPodge, letting each coat dry before putting on another.

I ended up with this.

I'm rather happy with it.

Now, only if I could decide where to hang it. 

 

Can't wait to find another project to do for next week!!

I'm thinking something Christmas.....
